I've been visiting Sushin Izakaya for over 25 years. The food is always fresh and delicious and the service is outstanding!!!!

Izakaya Sushi, Coral Gables Looking for great and affordable sushi in Miami ? Izakaya is your place! We've heard a lot of great reviews so we had to come check it out for ourselves, and the sushi was delicious! Izakaya gets fresh fish delivered every day and has the most affordable sushi in Miami. it's located near miracle mile and we loved everything we got here! Some things we loved: Dragon Roll Spicy Tuna Pork Gyoza California Roll Rainbow Roll Matcha Cheesecake We loved the chill vibes, and definitely get here on the earlier side because they get packed Have you been here?! #eeeeeats #foodandwine #foodies #tryitordiet #devourpower #eatfamous #brunch #lunch #dinner #dailyfoodfeed #eattheworld #cheatdayeats #cheatday #cheatmeal #delicious #foodieztm #foodiesinternationalchat #eatwithfoodiez#foodieexplorertribe #foodandbeverageonly #miamifood #miamifoodie #miamieats

A spontaneous suggestion for dinner here was a good idea! I walked in a little after 7 PM on a Saturday evening and was able to be seated right away. The tables are situated close to each other, but not so close that you're sitting on the people next to you. All the tables got filled within an hour and a half, and there were about 3 servers and the owner manager taking care of the whole dining floor, but despite the busy atmosphere, we were able to get our orders and additional requests without much delay. I loved looking at the blackboard specials that they have written on a literal blackboard spanning a whole wall and on a section of the QR code menu (very convenient). It takes me back to the actual comfortable izakayas in Japan where you were reading the menu off of the wall. If I had another few stomachs, I would have wanted to try dishes like the ika sugatayaki (grilled whole squid), harami (grilled salmon belly), doteyaki (braised beef) and nijimasu (grilled rainbow trout). I haven't seen these kinds of dishes in any other Japanese or Japanese masquerading restaurant in the area. The writing in Japanese of the dishes below the English names tells you someone Japanese is actually overseeing the menu. I bet you can understand how excited I was to see hamachi kama (yellowtail collar) on the menu. There is even a salmon kama with miso on the blackboard specials, which I'll return for. A collar of a fish is rare, understandable considering you can only get one from one whole fish, and it was a great opportunity to have it. The hamachi kama was tender, moist, just the right kind of fatty, a delight to pick at and share. If you don't get ponzu with the kama, ask for it, because it makes the fish so flavorful. I shared the Chika Special, which is listed as a plate of sashimi, nigiri and rolls for 2 and comes with 2 sides of either miso soup or house salad. First, the house salad is plentiful, fresh and lovely with the carrot ginger dressing. Second, this special is a banger of a deal, because for $66, or $33 per person, you get 2 whole rolls, 6 slices each of 4 kinds of sashimi and 5 sets of nigiri (as in 10 pieces of nigiri to share). We did not finish the platter, which took up our entire table haha, and I'm very excited to finish the leftovers tomorrow. Each slice of sashimi had good thickness, and all the fish tasted fresh. We liked some slightly fatty sashimi that we couldn't identify (it's gray looking?), then we found out from our server that it was wahoo. There is a lot of wahoo, sashimi and grilled, on the menu, which should definitely be something to try if you want a new fish. The rolls, California and tuna, were made quite well---the balance of the fillings vs. outside rice was sound, and they did not fall apart at all. I appreciate the inclusion of unagi and octopus in the platter. It was certainly a well rounded sampler. The only funky part of the sushi was that there is a lot of shari (rice) in the nigiri. Like the log of rice is a whole bed for the sashimi to lie on, end to end. We both removed some of each nigiri before eating it, or else we would have not gone very far into the platter. This restaurant is doing better to showcase authenticity of Japanese food, not just sushi, than many other so-called Japanese restaurants. You can get more unadulterated, quality food here than going to a froofy omakase. If you're in Coral Gables or have plans to be in the area, it's worth a try!

Visited the newly opened Izakaya and wasn't disappointed. The ambience is casual-formal. We sat at the bar, and received great service by the wait staff (there is no counter service, even if you do sit at the bar). The menu is limited, but the presentation of food and culmination of flavors is right on. Entrees come with a $5 up charge to add either, a Cali roll, spicy dumplings or seaweed salad. We split an order of tuna, spicy dumplings and the squid seaweed salad. Great first visit. I will make sure to get pictures of the menu to post next time!

I was visiting Miami and wanted Japanese food for dinner so I found this after doing some research. For parking, we found street parking that was metered near the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant was clean and modern. We were seated promptly once entering. I tried their Salmon Don, which came with fresh cuts of salmon sashimi over a bed of sushi rice. This was very good! It also came with a miso soup. My friend ordered gyoza and udon noodle soup which looked great also. If I am in the area again, I would visit the establishment again!

Great experience that I was glad to revisit after 20 hearts! A hidden gem, authentic paired with a cozy ambiance and excellent customer service. Each item we shared was delicious and the people who dine here clearly are regulars and that was nice to see. I'm certainly going to become a regular and looking forward to supporting this local business. We had the ramen with the miso broth, lobster roll, slippery eel, edamame, spicy salmon and tuna belly. All delicious! Be sure to check them out and enjoy!

Visited here on a Monday during lunch time. Walked in and it was half occupied with diners. We were seated right away and service was prompt. I went with their lunch special which is a 9-pc Sashimi plate which comes with complimentary bowl of miso soup. It is only for $14.95 before tax and it has a variety of items as well. The miso is a little watered down, less umami than what I'd love. But at this price, can't complain! I am giving this a four stars because this is good but not great quality. But decent for the price. Would come again if on a budget or something light/fix my sushi cravings.
